The image above represents theoretical density of ceramics.
Ceramic density computation.
The formula for calculating theoretical.
The calculation of the density of this solid solution is more difficult than the previous calculations because the chemical formula must be determined before the formula mass can be calculated.
To compute for theoretical density of ceramics five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are number of formula units in unit cell n sum of atomic weights of atoms σa c sum of atomic weights of anions σa a unit cell volume v c and avogadro s number n a.
Density calculations in ceramic structures c a c a v n n a a ρ n number of formula units in unit cell all ions that are included in the chemical formula of the compound formula unit σσσσac sum of atomic weights of cationsin the formula unit σσσσaa sum of atomic weights of anions in the formula unit vc.
Zro 2 which forms the matrix of this solid solution is a fluorite so final formula should be of the form ao 2 though the ratio will not be exactly.
